You thought the job would be easy. Hitch a ride on a trading vessel, protect it from pirates, and earn a few gold and a free trip to the City of Sails. All in a day’s work for an adventurer like yourself. But there’s not much your swords and arrows and spells can do against a typhoon. You don’t remember much - the flash of lightning, the howl of wind, the doomful crack of the mast as it split down the middle - but one memory stands out perfectly in your mind.
Traveling aboard the ship was a fortune teller, an old hag that was great aunt to the captain or something like that. On the night before the typhoon struck, she told your fortune, and her words are emblazoned in your memory:
A star once fallen upon the land,
Brings sword and axe and spell at hand.
For planted deep like evil seed
It fills heart, soul, and mind with greed.
Shoulders broad and voices tiny
Ceaseless war of clashing armies.
In sleep, the beauty whispers well,
But her wormtongue song is ever fell.
A royal staff in hands upright
Shall end the long, eternal fight.
But try you might, and try you may
The star will rise another day
